Yee-HAAAAAAAAAA!
My 10-minute play "Don't Know Much" has been shortlisted — one of 317, out of 1,550 submitted — for the Sydney Short & Sweet play festival. Aaaaaaaaaa!
Now: of those 317, a total of 130 get selected (by the various directors) for production: 90 "best of the best" and 40 "wildcard" slots. The top 90 run in groups of 10 plays; each groups gets a week to be performed every night; whereas the wildcard ones each get only one glorious night (in groups of 10 each night).
So now I'm sitting on a cold metal chair along the wall, wearing my best dress and uncomfortable shoes as the mirror ball spins and the stereo plays "Nights in White Satin", waiting to be picked by a nice director whose hands, hopefully, aren't too sweaty....
For info on the play-selection process and a link to the short list, see this page of the Short & Sweet site.

Oh, goodness. There was an image. I can't remember how many dances I went to in high school where some band butchered "Nights in White Satin." It was some kind of required item, I guess.
I'm sure every generation has a song like that, but that one may define ours in some way.
Oh, and congrats, of course!
